Famous quotes containing the word materially:
“To anticipate, not the sunrise and the dawn merely, but, if possible, Nature herself! How many mornings, summer and winter, before yet any neighbor was stirring about his business, have I been about mine! No doubt, many of my townsmen have met me returning from this enterprise, farmers starting for Boston in the twilight, or woodchoppers going to their work. It is true, I never assisted the sun materially in his rising, but, doubt not, it was of the last importance only to be present at it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I have now the gloomy prospect of retiring from office loaded with serious debts, which will materially affect the tranquility of my retirement.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The sum of the whole matter is this, that our civilization cannot survive materially unless it be redeemed spiritually.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
